To create a new note, click the “+” sign. To change the color of a note, click the “…” menu button and select one of the color choices. You can then change the color of the notes using the color palette. From this menu, you can also delete a note. Simply click the trash can button (Delete note) to delete a note. These individual windows can be moved anywhere on the desktop and resized. Simply select the title bar and drag the windows anywhere on the desktop.
